School model;At the virtual school of health and wellness we strive to provide an exemplar educational experience to high school students who are, for individual reasons, unable to participate in a traditional high school setting in part or in whole. By taking full advantage of the features of the online environment for education our unique school is able to meet and/or exceed the standards and expectations of a traditional high school education. The students work in a highly collaborative environment with peers. The faculty shepherd the student communities’ ideas and questions to facilitate the sharing of knowledge to rise above to creative and collective knowledge building.
